Accused may have traded secrets for sex
A US Navy officer accused of spying for Taiwan and China might have traded secrets for sex, according to media reports.
Taiwan-born Lieutenant Commander Edward Lin 39, could have given secret information to a Chinese girlfriend, the New York Times said.
The Daily Beast Web site reported that US defense officials said that Lin possibly swapped secrets “in exchange for sexual favors.”
The case continues to make headlines in the US.
Lin, who moved from Taiwan to the US with his family 25 years ago, has been charged with espionage and attempted espionage for two unnamed nations along with a number of lesser offenses, including adultery and hiring a prostitute.
